One Third of UK Kids Under 10 Own a Mobile Phone 184
hypnosec writes "Nearly everyone is aware of the influence of technology, specifically that of the new-generation telephonic devices on our society. But, when one in every 3 under-ten kids start having their own mobile phones, only then we come to realize how deep rooted the influence really is — yes, that's what a new report claims. According to the latest findings by the cloud security outfit Westcoastcloud, near about 33 percent of all UK's under-ten kids are currently in possession of a mobile phone."
Re:Somebody tell the schools (Score:3, Funny)
Many years ago I was one of the few carrying a PDA to every class - a Psion Series 3a.
I had it confiscated once: for using the internal speaker to stand to the British national anthem when my Scottish Latin teacher went on another of his hilarious anti-English tirades. He deserved it. I deserved it.
But as long as I only used it for schoolwork while in the classroom, everyone was happy.
Do kids at your school only use their 'phones for schoolwork while in the classroom?
